[s_i2016]

Hey guys, after patiently waiting I received the call. And I’ll start in Sept

[aeonpctech]

Congratulations!

[DC_Vulcan]

Wow great, congrats brother.
If you don't mind, when did you apply? And what choices were you given?

[s_i2016]

Yea Reno Nevada and Las Vegas , Chicago. Thanks and good luck everyone!

[DC_Vulcan]

How long were you waiting before getting the call?

......................

[DC_Vulcan]

aeonpctech Yeah I saw something of the same too. I know I'm a little behind others that also applied in Jan, but its mostly due to Mil duty. Hopefully yours goes smoothly. The SA class 353 I think just graduated today. Another class is 23 Sep. If all goes well I may be next one.

[ARD]

Medical scheduled for next week!

[DC_Vulcan]

Nice... Mine is this week; will let you know how it goes.

[aeonpctech]

Moving along great for everyone it seems...

[ARD]

DC_Vulcan: appreciate the advice and phone number very much! Just got off the phone with a representative and she's going to look into it for me. Thanks so much!!

[DC_Vulcan]

Haha epic. You should hear something today or tomorrow then. They called me back from a DC #, but I didn't want to put that on here. Also CC'd a bunch of people in my email, and again I won't post that, but my induction is that someone dropped the ball and she was picking up slack and CC-ing people involved.

[Jld50]

For those of you that received the call, is it from DC or from your field office, how long do you have to decide which location and also do they follow up with an email of your offer letter? When I called this time last week the agent told me I’d hear within the week. I feel like all I am doing is checking email and waiting for a call from 9-5

Post Edited.

[DC_Vulcan]

Nice insight Pearce. Supposedly the start date will be a few weeks from when you accept, depending on pay periods, holidays, academy dates, and giving enough time for your current employers 2wk notice.

[CamTwin2017]

I know everyone here is far ahead in the process but hoping to get some insight. I was recently scheduled for the security interview. Can anone give insight on what i can expect? Thank you in advance for any help in this matter.

[Lone-ranger]

They'll walk through your SF-86 page by page. Prepare for at least 2-3 hours and wear a suit.

[DC_Vulcan]

Print out your credit report and bring it along. They'll ask about collections, and then you can show them you have nothing (Make sure it's dated).

[Jld50]

I was also asked to provide all of my social media logins, I'm not sure if that's SOP for every one.

[DC_Vulcan]

Jld50 Same for me.

[CamTwin2017]

Lone-ranger thank you.

[mark06ls2]

How much time did everyone's Polygraph take? I was there for close to 6 hours today.

[Jld50]

I'd say mine was around the same.

[aeonpctech]

That's a long a** polygraph...

[AJK018]

............,,,

[mark06ls2]

How long until you got your results? I was told that I cleared all of the necessary questions but I'm not counting that as a win until I get an actual notice. It was an intense test that's for sure.

[911fedz]

I was there for about 7 hours, Agent said I passed only to get the BQA email 3 weeks later. I had someone look into the Poly for me, only to say I passed, but just was not selected.

[DC_Vulcan]

911fedz That is depressing, I'm sorry. You could reapply; the posting is open now.
You may not get your results... I havent' Just got drug email a week later... month later HI and Med soon.

[aeonpctech]

Anybody know if you get LEAP pay during CITP or JJRTC training phases? USSS specifically

Locality is required and is paid during training.

[DC_Vulcan]

incred1bl3 You're saying you get per diem on top of base+locality+leap? Wow. How much? What about Locality?

[Graeli]

per diem at FLETC isn't much because your meals are included. It's like five bucks a day or something but at RTC its higher because your meals aren't included. around $50 or $60 per day. Locality for FLETC is probably the baseline rest of US rate that's about 16%. DC is around 28%

[aeonpctech]

I meant to say LEAP... sorry lol

[incred1bl3]

FLETC per diem is $5
RTC per diem is $69

[DC_Vulcan]

Anyone know what GL you start at? My CondOff said GL-9 but Agent said 7... Hoping for 9 but don't wanna be suprised with 7.

[Lone-ranger]

I would go with the one that’s on your firm/final offer because the agent may not know.

[DC_Vulcan]

Haven't gotten final offer yet... Just conditional and what was relayed in HI.

[aeonpctech]

My conditional indicated GL-9 as well... Agent probably wasn't aware of the COE grade.

[DC_Vulcan]

Sure hope so! Lol

[DragonThirst]

Has anyone here experienced a post-Home Interview BQA?

[FarBeyondDriven]

Does the Secret Service provide housing at JJRTC in Maryland?

[urdoc88]

I think they pay for housing, if JJRTC is more than 50 miles away from your residence.

[incred1bl3]

They will put you in a hotel nearby, they have more than one hotel that they use

[BluelineUSA]

If you are not assigned to WFO, then yes they provide housing. You will be put in an extended stay hotel and commute every day. If assigned to WFO, you commute from your residence.

[mark06ls2]

Anyone else have to take a second poly?

[heath93274]
